+# /etc/skel: Included files
+
+## bash.rc
+
+This file is used to create a new user's *~/.bashrc*.  The copy included here is
+the Debian Stretch default file.  Copying the default file resets all new users
+to a baseline state and ensures they pull their initial custom settings from the
+modified */etc/bash.bashrc* found in this archive.  If you need to reset
+existing users to a baseline configuration, have them copy this file to their
+home directory.
